After the show aired, I party-hopped to a second “Project Runway” viewing. For the second year, the group of watchers/non-sewers had their own competition.

This year, Becky Seaquist, a professional seamstress, came up with the challenge:

Boy in a bubble (My–Sara’s–title!)

Using only bubble wrap, a plastic tablecloth and other optional packing materials to create a wearable outfit.

The competition was, well, fierce. A vest with multi-colored trim, a jacket that was actually wearable, and a transparent bubblewrap outfit (underwear was worn) were amongst the entries.

Judges included Joy Teiken of Joynoelle and Russell Bourrienne. Here are the winners:

1st place: Jared Jelinek in a “sporty look” that he plans to wear to the gym.

2nd place: Reggie Wendorf as “return to sender–mail-order bride.”

Jillian, Christian and Rami have nothing on these designers.
